Revelation 9:2-10

2He opened the shaft of the abyss, and 1smoke ascended out of the shaft like the smoke of a great furnace; and 2the sun and the air were darkened from the smoke of the shaft. 3Then out of the smoke came 3locusts 4upon the earth, and power was given them, as the 5scorpions of the earth have power. 4They were told not to 6hurt the 7grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the people who do not have the 8seal of God on their foreheads. 5And 9they were not permitted to kill 10anyone, but to torment for 11five months; and their torment was like the torment of a 12scorpion when it 13stings a person. 6And in those days 14people will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death 15will flee from them!

7The 1617appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle; and on their heads appeared to be crowns like gold, and their faces were like human faces. 8They had hair like the hair of women, and their 18teeth were like the teeth of lions. 9They had breastplates like breastplates of iron; and the 19sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to battle. 10They have tails like 20scorpions, and stings; and in their 21tails is their power to hurt people for 22five months.
